Joker is the winner!

Christopher Nolan, director of The Dark Knight, was all praises for Heath Ledger as he accepted the award from the beautiful Demi Moore. There are many who feel this happened because of the sympathy wave that was generated after Ledger’s tragic death but I don’t think this is the case. I’ve seen the film and Ledger definitely excels as The Joker. In fact, its hard to keep the count of emotions he has portrayed in each frame. Heath Ledger is the best Joker to have happened to the Batman series!

Christopher Nolan’s words were so true. Here’s what he said about the great actor as he received the award,

All of us who worked with Heath accept this with an awful mixture of sadness and incredible pride. After Heath passed on, you saw a hole ripped in the future of cinema ��� but with the extraordinary response to his work that we���ve seen all over the world, I, for one, start to be able to look a bit less at that gap in the future and a little bit more at the incredible place in the history of cinema that he built for himself with his talent and with his dedication to his artistry. For any of us lucky enough to work with him or to have enjoyed his performance, he will be eternally missed, but he will never be forgotten.

You will always be missed, Ledger!
